[ut2003io] Slowdown after map changes

[ken lierman]

I might have a similar problem.... i primarily noticed it manifest as
map loading taking WAY to long.  The first couple levels i play (instant
action) loads in like 15 seconds, but eventually they take over a minute
to load.  I had thought it was just a CPU/memory load problem, but i'm
not sure.  

(as a side issue, top seems messed up on my mdk 9 system.  My cpu idle
time is never over like 40%, and often is less than 0.  BUT no tasks are
taking up all the CPU either.  like:

CPU0 states:  0.6% user,  0.2% system,  0.0% nice,  0.103% idle
CPU1 states:  0.3% user,  0.9% system,  0.0% nice,  0.99% idle)

My system:

dual athlon 1900
ti4200
256M ddr
mdk 9.0
linux 2.4.19
nvidia driver 1.0-3123
